6.3.2 Audible Alarm Tones
The monitor uses different alarm tone patterns to match the alarm priority.
The alarm tone is distinct from keystroke tone and pulse tone in frequency.
The alarm tones identify the alarm levels as follows:
■ High level alarms: three short auditory pulses + two short auditory pulses + three
short auditory pulses + two short auditory pulses
■ Medium level alarms: three short auditory pulses
■ Low level alarms: one short auditory pulse
The interval of alarm tone is configurable. Refer to 6.5.3 Setting the Interval between
Alarm Sounds.
• When multiple alarms of different levels occur simultaneously, the monitor
will select the alarm of the highest level, light the alarm lamp and give alarm
sounds accordingly. Multiple alarm messages scroll on the screen.
• Some physiological alarms, such as the Desat alarm, are exclusive. They have
identical alarm tones and alarm lights as normal high level physiological
alarms, but their alarm messages are displayed exclusively. When an
exclusive physiological alarm and a normal high level physiological alarm are
triggered simultaneously, only the exclusive physiological alarm message is
displayed.
6.3.3 Alarm Messages
When an alarm occurs, an alarm message will appear in the technical or physiological
alarm area.
The alarm message has different background color which matches the alarm level.
■ High level alarms: red
■ Medium level alarms:yellow
■ Low level alarms:yellow
For physiological alarms, the asterisk symbols (*) before the alarm message match the
alarm level as follows:
■ High level alarms:***
■ Medium level alarms:**
■ Low level alarms:*
When there are multiple messages, the messages scroll.
